This term in Science & Technology, the content strand for Year 1 is Living World. 

The Living World strand focuses on the features of living things, their environment and how they change and reproduce.  

The students will investigate how plants and animals are used to satisfy our needs for food and fibre. This strand will develop the students’ understanding of how living things and their environment play a central role in the support for and survival of humans.

We will explore the following focus questions: 

• What are the external features of living things?  
• How do living things change as they grow?
• How can we improve a local environment to encourage living things to thrive?    
• How do humans use plants and animals?
